//------------------------------// // Now What? // Story: Twilight's Experiments: The War of Mann Co. // by MIKEANTHONY321 //------------------------------// ……………………………………… TF2 Saxxy 2011 Theme ……………………………………… The ponies jumped around and cheered. Pinkie Pie giggled wildly, shooting fire high into the sky from her flamethrower. Fluttershy cried quietly from the happiness and relief of being done. The impending battalion of robots had finally been defeated. Twilight and Rainbow Dash smiled warmly at each other, and gave each other a big hug. “You did good there, Rainbow Dash. I’m proud of how much you’ve grown since we came here.” Twilight whispered in her ear. … Right then, all of team RED ran out of the resupply garage to congratulate their colleagues. The ponies were very happy and surprised to see their human classes return to them. “Excellent work, soldier! You’re the best recruit that I’ve ever come to meet! You have honored this entire unit!” Red Soldier exclaimed. He walked up to Spike, and threw him up in the air. Spike laughed, and waved his arms around in mid-air. He fell back down, where Red Soldier caught him. … All of the ponies received congratulatory compliments from their classes. Twilight looked around, but couldn’t find Red Sniper. “Hey…where’s my class?” She asked sadly. As if on cue, Red Sniper came out of the resupply garage last. As soon as they saw each other, they grinned from ear-to-ear. “Hey, mate. You really made me proud today.” He stated. “Did you actually see us fighting?” Twilight asked him. “You bet I did. We were all in the control room with the announcer, watching your performance.” He answered. “Huh…I can’t believe it…” She stuttered. “It looks like you really came to realize what it means to be a team member as part of Mann Co. You sure learned a lot.” Red Sniper added. “Yeah… By the way, why didn’t you come out of the garage with everypony else?” She asked. “I had to explain something to the announcer.” He responded. “Oh really? What was that?” … Red Sniper bent over, and picked Twilight right up off the ground. She was surprised to suddenly be off the ground and in Red Sniper’s arms. Her surprise turned to shock, however, when Red Sniper kissed her. Her eyes went wide, then slowly closed as she accepted the sudden invitation. The other sixteen fighters turned, and noticed Red Sniper and Twilight. They stared for a couple seconds, then began to cheer and clap. The applause echoed throughout the map. … Red Sniper finally broke away from Twilight’s lips. “By the way mate, in this world, it’s pronounced, ‘everybody’.” He mentioned. Twilight didn’t care. For those couple of seconds, she was in heaven. In reality, she was still in Red Sniper’s arms, but to her, it didn’t make a difference. ………………………………………. “So, we’ve defeated the robot menace. Now what do we do?” Rainbow Dash asked. Red Sniper looked up at her. “Now, we go to Granary to meet up with team BLU for another Arena battle.” He explained. “Sounds good to me. I’d kind of like to get away from this map.” Twilight added. Red Sniper smiled. All eighteen Mann Co fighters, old and new, turned around, and left the Mannworks Shipping Facility. A whole new map lied ahead them to be fought on in the continuing battle for dominance. Let the bloodbath begin! THE END
